Scheduled for June 7-9 on Randall’s Island, the Governors Ball Music Festival will also host The xx, Cut Copy, Beach House, Kendrick Lamar, The Lumineers, Animal Collective, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Feist, Young The Giant, Thievery Corporation, Japandroids and Beirut. While it’s too early to start talking about the festival’s daily schedules, words from promoter Founders Entertainment is that the day-to-day breakdowns will probably be released in May.

But regardless of the schedule, Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose appears to be very excited about the gig. Yes, the exclamation points were really flying when the rocker talked about his newest booking.

“We’re stoked to be performing at the Governors Ball!” Rose exclaimed. “We’re all really excited in GNR to be part of this festival, and with such talented and diverse acts in what looks to be a great weekend!!”

Beginning as a one-day festival in 2011, Governors Ball expanded to two days in 2012 and is doing three days of world class-performers this year.
